Nandarang Restaurant & Bar

I love the concept of Nandarang and I feel like Koreatown should have more places like this! Looking for a fun spot to hang out at in Koreatown that wasn't a bar or KBBQ on a Saturday evening, we decided to give Nandarang a try, since it was described as being a gastropub with Korean comfort/pub grub style food. It's very spacious inside with plenty of tables. I was a little disappointed to see that there were only a few other people there - I hope that it was just that day, as this place deserves a lot more attention!! Service was attentive and friendly, and we quickly had our food and drink orders being brought out. I loved everything we got! There's more traditional grub like mozzarella sticks that tasted cheesy and delicious, as well as items with Korean twists to them, such as a Kimchi Shrimp Pasta that I LOVED. Seriously though, that Kimchi Pasta is now at the top of my list for favorite pastas in LA - unique, flavorful, creamy, spicy but not too much....it's SO good! Korean staples such as the corn cheese were similarly creamy, delicious, and delectably enjoyable. Paired with some hot sake and we had a wonderful evening and meal! I loved my visit to Nandarang and would love to go back! If you're looking for a great Korean comfort food & gastropub spot that's clean and modern inside and has both delicious staples and unique bites, you'll definitely want to try it out as well!

I honestly feel like people are asleep on this little gem. The service is wonderful and the food is amazing. It is on the pricy side but the portions are generous. My husband and I usually get a plate of something different and we split and share. Their sampler is delicious and their short ribs are so yummy as well. Don't get me started on their onion rings! Their alcohol is a great selection too. Give the place a chance. ✨

Such a fun place - great menu variety, great drink offerings and unique dishes!

Great food and great service
